Lyrics
(We get when we really ask for it)
Dip me in the water
(We get when we really ask for it)
Dip me in the water
I used to hustle with your grandmother
Used to party 'fore you was even thumbsuckin'
She lived out the sticks where you could get 'em by the dozens
Get 'em off like nothin'
Used to let me hold the door keys
I usually kept a lil' somethin' like, "What you need?"
Might crack you a piece like, "Hold that"
That's that old-old foot-stompin', hand clap
That dip me in the water (dip me in the water)
Wash me clean, the water black (black)
Dip me in the water
Run between from corner to sink
Every wrinkle seamed, rinsed and steamed
Starched and pressed crease, cut clean
Say it with my chest, ninety-nine steps
Too late to tell, none for the one-time
Wide be gates of hell
Burnin' gas, standing still
There's a way to crash
Sleepwalkin' with the blades
Splits razor's edge, against leather grain
Tan strap, silly gone shave, mister (mister)
It's the (it's the)
Stride like Moko Jumbie, come see
High as the tide rise, we used to be a country
Wash me clean, too much I can't unsee
Hungry, wild (?) about a fistful
Beetroot for the ticker
Might have to kill what I wish for
No place, no place here for me
Before I go under (under)
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water (I would like to bring up to the attention of the-)
Dip me in the water
Get me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water (hell yeah)
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
Dip me in the water
The river is the border but border is the river
